Cervical ventroflexion in cats: 86 cases (2003-2024).
Article in Journal of feline medicine and surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to characterise cervical ventroflexion in cats, investigate which diseases are associated with its occurrence and evaluate treatment outcome.MethodsThis retrospective, two-centre study spans the period from 2003 to 2024. The inclusion criteria consisted of complete medical records, presence of cervical ventroflexion, baseline clinicopathological testing and a diagnosis. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed for all cats. Univariable and multivariable analyses were used to compare the feline hypokalaemic myopathy (FHM) group vs all other diagnoses.ResultsA total of 86 cats met the inclusion criteria. The most common diagnoses associated with cervical ventroflexion were FHM (42/86, 48.8%), hyperthyroidism (10/86, 11.6%), thiamine deficiency (9/86, 10.5%), immune-mediated polyneuropathy (6/86, 7%), cervical ischaemic myelopathy (5/86, 5.8%), acquired myasthenia gravis (3/86, 3.5%) and feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) meningoencephalomyelitis (3/86, 3.5%).
